At the Federal level. If they “have it all”, they hopefully already have the intel, warrants prepared and show 2020 election fraud to SCOTUS to reverse results and invalidate the current administration.
I do not see why that would matter at all. The US Constitution is very clear on the ability of the President to pardon:
"Section. 2.
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."
If the power had any other limit, it would have been out into the language. Even a "wise Latina" and a black who can't define the word "woman" justice would have trouble convoluting this crystal clear language.
And I don't disagree with you. I mean, I know what it says. I'm just saying it's never been challenged. So it may appear as though the power is unlimited, but that can be challenged. And the court would have to rule on that so, and that's their job is to interpret the Constitution and make rulings.
It’s my understanding that except for a pardon of impeachment, the power is unlimited.

I would celebrate that event.
This! ⬆️⬆️
The power of the presidential pardon has never been challenged in the Supreme Court, so it appears unlimited. But that doesn't mean it's unlimited.

I disagree, as written it is unchallengeable, there is nothing to interpret. There is clearly only one exception and no other.
